VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Dreer’s Onion Seed 
One ounce of Onion seed for 100 feet of drill, 5 to6 pounds for an acre. 
Culture —Large Onions are easily grown from seeds in one season provided the gardener has a 
rich piece of ground and is willing to do the necessary hand weeding and transplanting of the young 
Onions. Seeds may be sown very early in the spring in rows 18 inches apart, and as soon as seedlings 
are 3 to 4 inches tall they should be thinned out to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. Several appli- 
cations of Bovung or wood ashes scattered on both sides of the row and hoed into the soil will benefit 
the developing roots immensely. Pull when tops begin to die down, cure, and sell, or store in a cool, 
dry place. By sowing seed of the Spanish type, such as Prizetaker and the Southport Globes, under 
glass in February or March and transplanting in April to open ground 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows
